GENIUS/TOEIC Flashcards[edit]
These are a set of flashcards for Japanese people learning English. I believe these tests are language skills tests similar to the levels of the Japanese literacy tests.
Bookmarks and Flashcards[edit]
This section is by far one of my favorites, this is where you access your 3 sets of bookmarks and can select to review them as flash cards. Each set can contain up to 100 entries.
Quiz Games[edit]
Insanely difficult for people who don't know Japanese. These are a large set of quiz games in which you have so much time to respond, etc.
Legend Index?[edit]
I'm not really sure about this option. The first two kanji translate to legend, and the last two are the first to kanji of bibliography. From what I have looked at in there it looks like a legend for the notes on the translations. Also, the last page in this section appears to have some credits.
Flashcard Transfer Mode[edit]
Want to pass a set of your bookmarks/flashcards to a friend in your class? This mode lets you do just that. The only problem is, they only appear as a 4th set of bookmarks. You can't view them as flashcards. But if you want to, the first option is to send, and the second is to receive. Selecting send will give you another pop-up asking which bookmark set (A, B, or C) you want to send.
Pictochat Search Mode[edit]
Have the dictionary also join you in a pictochat room. This one can get interesting in classrooms, as clearly, you are just using your DS as a dictionary. Some of the nice features of this are that it allows you to grab screens from the dictionary and paste them into pictochat. Also, you can draw kanji and have them put into pictochat as well.
System Options[edit]
| Power Off Timer
Off . 5 minutes . 30 minutes |
Sound
On . Off |
| Kanji Draw Time
Short . Medium . Long |
Touch Voice
On . Off |
Power Off Timer (Off, 5 Minutes, 30 Minutes)
This lets you set the dictionary to shut off if it has been inactive for a certain amount of time. This only effects when inactive an the system is open. If you close the lid, the DS suspends the dictionary and the timer for the auto power off.
Sound (On, Off)
Obvious
Kanji Draw Time (Short, Medium, Long)
This sets the amount of time after you have drawn a kanji before it assumes you are done. If you find that the system keeps looking up kanji before you have finished drawing the kanji, you man want to set this to long.
Touch Voice (On, Off)
If you look up a word in the English to Japanese dictionary, some words have an audio recording of the word. If this is on, the voice will automatically play. If it is off, you simply have to hit the sound icon to play the clip.
Search Result Text Size[edit]
Just keep touching this option to change between small or large for the search result size. It shows you an example when you select it.
World Clock[edit]
View the current time throughout the world. This assumes that your system is set to Japanese time.
Alarm[edit]
Set an alarm. Not quite sure how to use this, never really needed it.
Calculator[edit]
I think you can figure out how to use this.
Calendar[edit]
Just display a calendar of a specific month.
